STIR THE CREAM.


STIR THE CREAM.
One of the most important operations
of the dairy is stirring the cream.
Simple as it appears, it is usually not
half done and badly done at that. 1t
IS usually stirred with narrow paddle.
sort of pudding stick, most inefli-
cient implement. 1t has but one merit,
which is that it may be used as a knife
to scrape around the edge where the
cream may have dried a little to the side
of the vessel. If the cream is thoroughly
stirred with this the churnilg process
will have begun, which is exactly what
should be avoided.
The fact is, when cream is well stir
red the surface should not be especially
agitated-certainly never so much as to
produce bubbles. There is proper
stirrer and it does its work so well that
we have never knownits use to be given
up where once dairy folks hadthe article
in use. 1t is very simply made either of
wood or timed iron. If a piece of
heavy tin is taken about as large and
of the shape of tea saucer. and well
timed iron rod is fastened by riyiting
solder upon the middle of the convex
side, this completes the stirrer. 1t is
like a lin saucer held bottom upwards
by sufficiently strong rod of wire. In
use the saucer end is brought within a
| few inches of the bottom of the cream
holder anu then quickly thrust down
ward again and again. Soon the cream
! from the bottom will come boiling up
on all sides. The motion is that of
churning, but there is no churning, for
no air is agitated with the cream, and
the operation may be continued until
! the most perfect mixture has taken
place.
Thoroughly mixing the cream secures
perfect uniformity in ripening so that
all the butter comes at once, and that
none is lost in the buttermilk under
| ordinary circumstances.
Many prefer wooden stirrer because
it may be left in the cream. 1t is made
on the same plan, the disc and rod both
being of some odorless wood. -Guern-

PINCHING BACK.

Little is to be gained by pinching GU
cumber vines back during the growing
season. We always try to avoid any
mutilation of the foliage, as a sure cause
of lessened yield. Keep the vines grow
ing thrtftily and the bugs at bay.
Seed production isexhaustive to bring
forth green cucumbers does not cost
| greater effort than the growth foliage.
Hence the pickles should be gathered
in proper time and none left on to ripen
its seed. Rather cut, not break or tear
them off.
Cucumbers for pickles may be
planted at any time this month. Warm
weather will make them grow rapidly
and away from the bugs. Green Clust-
err is a good sort for this purpose; very
prolific of medium-sized pickles. For
large ones or for cucumber salad we
prefer the Long Green.
The large English frame varieties,
do not find much favor with
the American gardeners, or with
the consuming public. We have some
times grown them of nearly two feet in
length. For that sort of pickles they
are excellent, as they have but very few
seeds; but the general gardener will con-
sidered them ''more curious than useful
for his purposes.
The early melon crop may be hasten
ed day or two by pinching back the
ends of each main vine, in order to in
duce them to throw out the laterals, on
which the fruit" is borne.-Orchard

Half Of my pain

To sheltering thee at night;
Half OF my pleasure

From my hearts inmost core;

Good deeds omitted,
All owed to thee-and more.
Yet, do love thee,
And nanght above thee

CARE OF COLTS.
The fact should not be overlooked
that much of the value of horse de-
ponds upon the care and treatment he
receives when a colt. If, when young,
he is neglected and not given sufficient
food to keep him growing steadily, he
viii show the effects of it afterwards
He will be longer in reaching maturity
and will not attain the size and develop
ment that he would had he been cared
for properly the first year or two of his
life. Now, while pastures in many sec
tons of the country are short, owing to
the drought, the colts should have an
allowance of grain to keep them thriv.
ing and prevent their falling off in flesh
under which condition they would enter
the winter at a disadvantage. The frst
season is the important one with the
colt, for if allowed to grow thin after
being weaned he vii be slow to recover
from it. When the colt has been taker
from its dam, and even before, he
should be handled often and mad,
familiar with what may otherwis,
brighten him when harnessed and pu
to work. Colts learn more readily
when taken in hand early and if gent
~ used, it is surprising how fast they
will learn what they are wanted to do

The possibilities of a COW for butter
making are astonishing. Years ago
the COW that would make one pound a
day was considered a good COW. Now
we hear that the famous Holstein, Cloth
ilde, since the New York dairy show,
in which she came off first best, has
been tested again, and gave, in seven
days, 665 pounds IA ounces, of milk,
which made % pounds 24 ounces of
butter. This was an average of over
80 pounds of milk and over pounds
of butter, daily.
This great milk machine ate, daily,
about Il pounds of grain, consisting of
two parts of corn meal, two parts
wheat bran. one part ground oats,
with little oil meal. She had good
pasture and pure water We can see
that to accomplish such marvellous
results her digestive, assimilative and
milk secretive organs must be large,
active, powerful. To possess such or
gans she must have descended from a
long line of ancestors which were bred
expressly to create such organs; in
other words, she belongs TO a great
milk breed. is milk-making machine
of the most approved kind. The milk
and butter are contained in the food
which she consumes, and she has a
capacity for eating large quantity of
such food and for making the most of
it.-American Rural Home.
